Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

Please help as this is really annoying menny of the album covers don’t match the albums playing has anyone found a fix for this as it’s really ****** me off as I spent ages fixing it to only have it happen again as soon as I play the the songs??? Please help

Thank you SPRIDEL. This solution works perfectly and solves this ridiculous problem.

Costs very little to have peace of mind and enjoy your music with album covers. Easier to locate music.

Many thanks again.

Regarding your very good point about tons of wasted, irreplaceable time, while and I imagine current Apple staff hate hearing Steve Jobs stories, when the original Mac was in development and the boot-up time was too slow, Jobs said, "Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?" (from https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Saving_Lives.txt)

This illustrates what happens when people take their eyes off the ball. On the other hand, I like to think that it is not a simple thing to fix or it would have been fixed by now.

Of course it not coincidental... just what they are counting on! People will get frustrated enough and give in .. NOPE. Also u do know you don't really own the music you are paying a subscription for. If you every drop out your music does too!

Coincidental is of course nothing like this. They want to force us to move to Catalina, to apple pay, apple music etc etc etc.

In earlier days they did this, too, but in convincingly building new OSs that you really like to move to. Catalina is just ridiculous and forcing us to move is unacceptable.

I will stay with mojave and will stay with iTunes. Just bought the CS programm and now all is ok. I am happy.

Without a move from apple.

Not my problem any more.

"They want to force us to move to Catalina, to apple pay, apple music etc..."

Sure seems that way. I love hearing in the current ads for Apple Pay that the service is "not from a bank - its from Apple". Maybe its just me, but I wouldn't get a "warm and fuzzy" about that based on how they've handled playlist art in iOS 13 so far... :)

I tried re-synching it. It didn't work. It's no secret that APPLE doesn't give a **** and gave up on PLAYLISTS a long time ago. I hate this. I'm now looking into alternatives to iTunes but why are so many filled with ads and there is no paid for no ad version out there? I would gladly pay a good fee for a non-bloated music app that just works.

Does retiring iTunes excuse leaving its last version, used by millions of people, in an unusable mess?

I think not. Purely unprofessional and more what I would expect to experience from an insolvent company, not one who is trying to maintain its goodwill from its user base.

Apple Staff if you are here , do appreciate you feedback to your technical Dept!

do you know to download personal albums it takes 1-2 hours(if you have 50 gb of audio files) , and to redo it 3 times will be 6 hours !!!

I actually meant to say " Can you copy in that". Not sure how it works... My iTunes on computer has artwork and its all good. At first I hesitated to sync phone cause was afraid phone would screw up computer. Realized it was okay to do. So thinking it won't really make a difference. Has yours remained ok

Everyone I talk with who has upgraded to 13 is experiencing similar issues that I am. Scrambled artwork is the least of my issues, although not minimizing that. Freezing emails, contacts and crashing. Not shutting down properly, to the extent that I cannot restart the phone. Connectivity to my car, Bluetooth and tethered issues both.

I have had iPhones since the second one came out. I am about done with Apple. Not because they have issues, everyone has issues, but rather how they are not dealing with or communicating with us about the issues. I’m up for my upgrade next month. Hello Samsung!

Nope, deleted all music on my iPhone over the weekend. Then unplugged it and plugged it back into my iMac and sync’d all music to my iPhone.

now all the iPhone music is totally screwed up with missing artwork, duplicated playlists and bogus track order.

Excellent job Apple at emulating windows trashy design and quality!!!

I think by now we all should know not to bother wasting our time trying to fix a bug that only Apple can fix. Maybe when they realize this is only ******* people off and not pushing them to buy Apple Music they'll smarten up. I already know a ton of people who are or have switched to droid. Apple ta ain't the only game un town anymore. Better stop f&#king up

Same issue here. Some albums in double on my iPhone. Some are not linked to the artist. The highlight was when my library at the Mac was 48 GB and on the iPhoneX almost 83 GB. Album art becomes a lottery game to see. Just to make clear, on the mac everything is there. But I also found correctly tagged albums under compilations on my Mac -before upgrade it was okay.

I am quite surprised that programming an MP3 player app became rocket science.

So I am blown away from the amazing products which Apple is distributing. But we have 24hrs-smiling-people on the stage of the keynotes. But to make sure - it is only one example where the user experience discovers new depth.

With CS Music, do you have to “start from scratch” with the playlists, or is there a way to transfer the library (artists, albums, and playlist), over to the new platform? Why I ask is, I have well over a hundred playlist, never mind purchased and uploaded bands.
